Data Preservation, Reuse and (Open) Access in High-Energy Physics

High-Energy Physics is a discipline relying on scientific instruments of unprecedented size and complexity, yielding a "deluge" of non-reproducible data. Surprisingly, preservation, reuse and open access to these data, which are deeply intertwined, are not high on the community agenda. Their inception, implementation and ultimate success are under siege from issues commonly found in the areas of digital preservation. This brief paper gives an introduction to this emerging debate
